这是一篇以情景推理的语境题目为主的完形填空,它谈到了英国人对足球的狂热程度,这方面背景知识的了解会大大有助于该题的解答。在英国,人们日常生活的话题除了天气之外,大概谈得最多的就是足球了。只要理解了这一点,结合上下文的语言环境,分析好句法关系,应该能够应付自如。
1. B从to see this和常理可以判断出去看的是比赛,而非其他。
2. D指球迷们激动的场面:大声叫喊。
3. A看球的人为一方或另一方而呐喊助威,这种球迷的狂热劲应有所闻,也不难理解。
4. C短文讲的就是英国人对足球的狂热。
5. D在这个长句中,主语one后带有一个"of"短语,而表语后带有"of短语+定语从句",文章首句已点明本文谈的是英国,对一个陌生人来说,英国足球最让人拍案称奇的是,甚至小孩子也会对足球知之甚多。
6. A指球队队员。
7. B这是一个由三个分句连接的并列句,tell,has,knows的内容根据常识不难判断,这就是说这些小孩子能告诉你大多数重要球队所有队员的名字,而且还有他们的照片,知道许多场比赛的结果。
8. D他们希望哪个队会赢。
9. C从上下文便知。 '
10. B这是一个包含两个复杂分句的并列句,中间由and连接,第8题填空处he hopes系插人语,即He will tell you (he hopes) who will win...; 后一分句是包含同级比较be as good as的句子。第9题空处指"评球"才合适,全句意为:他会告诉你,他希望这场那场比赛中谁赢,而他关于足球的观点通常同成年人一样好,那些成年人的年龄比他们大两、三倍。
